“JX 3p (case and pg200 unit will be sold separately, they are NOT included)
Unit powers on, but all of the preset buttons light up, as if one of the buttons is stuck, so I could not test beyond that (no testing for sound).
It could be a simple fix, but must sell as is because I could not test the unit.
100v unit requires voltage converter for your home country, so please prepare one prior to use” Link

“JX3P dual OSC analog synthesizer with original PG-200 programmer. Recently taken out of storage and it looks and sounds beautiful. All knobs, sliders, buttons have been checked and function as they should. Output is strong and clean. All voices tune. Chorus is a little noisy like the Juno-106, but works. Programmer is in fantastic, shiny condition and works perfectly, and comes with original case and programming cable.” Link

” Up for sale is my vintage Roland JX-3P analog polyphonic synthesizer. It’s extremely clean and in very good cosmetic condition. I’ve owned it for about five years now. The synth is also fully functional. I just had it serviced by a reputable synth tech here in Phoenix, and the following work was done:

a faulty voice chip (IR3109) was replaced;
a new patch memory battery was installed;
a new, three-prong grounded power cable was installed;
a chipped key was replaced; and
the unit was calibrated to factory specs.

I spent close to $250 for the work, including the voice chip, which I sourced myself. I can e-mail you the receipt if you’re interested.

You’re getting a lot of value here. Compare this unit to others those you see on eBay, where sellers are asking premium prices for JX-3Ps that are either totally beat up or aren’t working. Or, if you find them relatively cheaply, they’re usually from Japanese sellers and you have to pay $200 just for shipping.” Link

“Classic Juno sounds in a compact vintage analog package. The synth has some scratches and dings on the body as can be expected from a 30+ year old synth, but everything is fully functional. Note that there was a “music stand” thin plastic ridge that used to sit on top of the body which is missing from this unit–you’ll notice 4 small holes in the top where it used to mount (see pics). This in no way affects the function of this great instrument (and IMO had little practical use anyway).” Link

“THIS IS A ROLAND JX-3P ANALOG SYNTHESIZER BEING SOLD FOR PARTS OR NON-WORKING.ON POWER UP ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON.THE KEYBED IS EVEN AND SHOWS NO DAMAGE TO ANY OF THE KEYS.THE JX-3P WAS, AND STILL IS A POPULAR KEYBOARD.” Link

“Hi, here is an amazing opportunity to purchase my ROLAND JX-3P with the highly sought after PG200 Programmer.

This Synth is an analog beauty with the benefit of MIDI. The included programmer makes patch design a breeze.

The din cable connector from the PG200 to JX-3P is INCLUDED in the sale (but not pictured)

Unfortunately both units were damaged a couple of years ago. Two sliders (Sens and Rate) are completely snapped off but can be replaced.

On the PG 200 programmer 1 knob (release) is slightly bent but still functions.

The keyboard and programmer could benefit from a bit of TLC and a clean up but all seems to be functioning fine.

This unit was originally from the UK so operates on 240 v. You can use in the USA by purchasing a ‘step up’ converter (approx $30 – see this on Amazon – uxcell AC-100Watts Step Up/Down Voltage Converter Transformer 110/120 Volt – 50 Watts + 220/240 Volt – 100 Watts)” Link

“If you’re looking at this, you’ll know what this is. Great voices. Had this from new and only ever used for home recording. Moving house so having a total clear our of gear I’ve built up over the years.” Link

” Roland JX-3P in good outward cosmetic appearance – no major bangs dents or scratches, bottom MDF intact – but this has been neglected in storage for many years. It plays 6 voices just fine via MIDI and cycles through factory presets via MIDI, but user presets are dead. Perhaps the battery went dead. None of the front panel buttons seem to be working. Some respond with excessive pressure. Two keyboard keys seem to be totally dead and about 4-5 others respond slowly. Obviously, it needs cleaning inside, possibly some new contacts and whatever else. Can’t say if the sequencer works because the buttons aren’t responding. The keys on the keyboard all still have a nice feel to them, but could use cleaning. You can also see the power cord was shortened. The original owner’s manual comes with it. ” Link

“The Roland JX-3P is a synthesizer produced by Roland Corporation of Japan in 1983. The “3P” in its name refers to “Programmable Preset Polyphonic”. It is notable as one of the company’s first synthesizers to incorporate a MIDI interface. Great Working Condition!!” Link

“Sounds great. This was well maintained but I have had it in storage for a while so it will need a little external cleaning. I had a professional clean it up inside so it would be in ready to play condition. There is a little rattle inside when you tilt it but I was told it is a screw that is rolling around. It doesn’t affect the sound or use of this synthesizer. One of the caps on the slide knob for brilliance, shown in photo #6, is missing. The rest of the body has some signs of use but I’d say it’s pretty good for it’s age. Please look at the photos to judge for yourself. ” Link

“For Sale: Bundle of Roland JP-3P Synth, the Roland PG-200 Programmer, and a Hard Case. It also includes a Roland Sustain pedal and the original manual. Very good condition and it sounds great! It is a heavy package but has everything you need for performance or studio. Will be shipped insured.” Link

“I bought this through eBay just over two years ago and it has seen very little use since (hence why I’m selling!)
It’s in excellent used condition. All keys, inputs/outputs etc working perfectly. As you can see in picture two there’s some grey gaffer tape on the top right hand corner, which was there when I bought it, but this must have been to hold something additional down by the previous owner, because it serves no practical purpose. Maybe they liked the style of grey gaffer!

The few times I have used this have been in a home studio/rehearsal set up.

Using the synthesizer

Like I say, it’s ready to go. The JX-3P is fully programmable from it’s front panel. To do this you have to select each synthesis parameter numerically and from that you can adjust these with a single slider. For a more ‘hands on’ approach that a lot of analogue synth players favour, it’s worth investing in the Roland PG-200 “programmer” (more details here: http://www.joness.com/gr300/pg200.html)” Link

“The highest F and F# keys do not work. They probably just need the contacts cleaned. Everything else lights up and works properly as far as I can tell, although I haven’t tested every function. All presets work and sound as they should. Cosmetically, there is a large scratch in the middle area of the faceplate as you can see in one of the pictures. The only other blemishes are very minor. ” Link

“Roland JX-3P Synthesizer. Purchased from original owner at estate sale. I tested unit to the best of my ability. The owner said “it works fine” as well. Comes with a Roland Pedal. There is a scratch on the top right corner and on key has a mark. (See red arrows) Shipping will be $38. ” Link

” Hello Human, Works, everything functions as it should. It’s in pretty good shape. The volume knob is a little scratchy (noisy) and the fader for “Sens” is loose. Swing by and pick this thing up and save on shipping! I’ll make you a cup of coffee. Thanks, Jim” Link

“Great analog synth. Works well considering age. Decent cosmetic shape. A few scuffs here and there and some dents. There’s a weird “bump” on the back panel by the midi jacks (see photo). All keys and buttons work, some buttons are a little stiff or inconsistent as happens with age, but totally usable. I note that there is a decent “pop” noise when you hit the power switch on the synth and the amp is still on. I tested all jacks EXCEPT sequence trigger, tape memory, and programmer. ” Link

“Item is in perfect working order. Bender is a little misaligned, as shown. Bag not included, but a free voltage converter (100 to 120v) is included. See pics for details. Overall very good cosmetic condition.” Link

“Roland jx-3p in fair condition. Aftermarket fader knobs and volume knob. Keys are dull but play smoothly. All keys sound and all buttons and faders work as they should. Mode machines DT 200 is in very good condition looks as new, no scratches or dings.” Link
